Zion’s glorious future

¹ Seven women will grab one man on that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes—only let us take your name; take away our disgrace.”

² On that day, the LORD’s branch will become beautiful and glorious. The earth’s fruit will be the pride and splendor of Israel’s survivors.

³ Whoever remains in Zion and is left in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who is on the list of those living in Jerusalem.

⁴ When the Lord washes the filth from Zion’s daughters, and cleanses Jerusalem’s bloodguilt from within it by means of a wind of judgment and a searing wind,

⁵ then the LORD will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the light of a blazing fire by night. Over all the glory there will be a canopy,

⁶ which will be a booth by day for shade from the heat and a hiding place and shelter from a stormy downpour.
